It’s Halloween. We love holidays in this house. We even make up our own. Yup we are quirky like that. So Happy Halloween everybody, it looks like we may be trick or treating in the snow tonight! I bought a bunch of candy to hand out so I am hoping that we get lots of kids! In our house this year we will be having Batman, A Bride and a female version of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. To cute!

An easy way to make our daughter happy is to tell her we are going to Mr.Sub for lunch. It is by far her favorite restaurant. I think it is because she gets to say extra tomatoes and watch to make sure that they actually do it. She is cute. A nice healthy Sunday afternoon for us.

I had the Philly Steak and Cheese Sub and I must say it was pretty tasty. I will be getting that again sometime in the future.

Have you ever been walking down the aisles , grocery shopping with your kids and they ask you if you can buy this sugary cereal, a certain kind of ice cream, oatmeal, the list goes on and on….just like the questions in the grocery store. Well, in our house we have come up with a solution! The first of every month every person in the house gets to pick one thing they would like in the following month. It can be anything really, breakfast, an item from the grocery store, dinner, drink, dessert…..in exchange for this they leave me in peace at the grocery store! Perfect. It is also really fun for me to hear what they pick on the first. This is what our middle daughter picked for the month of October, and since it is a movie friendly food we combined it with popcorn and Atlantis the Lost Empire for a perfect friday movie night.

I was going to say of all the pies in all the world cream pies are my favorite. Then I remembered pumpkin, which made me think of pecan. Okay so I like a lot of pies. But I really do like cream pies too. This one did not disappoint. It was super yummy, probably because it had banana which is my favorite fruit! Once when my niece was really little and I brought out some banana cookies she proclaimed “You must really like bananas, you put them in everything”. Well it’s true I do like bananas in my baking so without further ado here is the recipe.
